WORCESTERSHIRE were frustrated by Jonathan Hughes and the weather on the third day of their Second XI Championship match against Glamorgan at Abergavenny yesterday.

Glamorgan resumed 35 runs ahead on 52-2 and took their score to 178-5 off 49.4 overs before the rain forced play to end early.

By the premature close Hughes was undefeated on 54 which included eight fours off 76 balls to stretch his side's lead to 163.
